Description

We introduce the first audio-visual dataset for traffic anomaly detection taken from real-world scenes, called MAVAD, with a diverse range of weather and illumination conditions. In addition, we propose a novel method named AVACA that combines visual and audio features extracted from video sequences by means of cross-attention to detect anomalies. We demonstrate that the addition of audio improves the performance of AVACA by up to 5.2%. We also evaluate the impact of image anonymization, showing only a minor decrease in performance averaging at 1.7%.
